    Because the cosmetics industry spends billions of dollars a year yelling at women that they aren’t good enough.

    They’re working the same bullshit on boys too (publicly) for the last 20 years.

      That strikes me as a super cop out. People just like to be noticed and recognized and the more of it you have, the more of it you want, just like wealth.

      I don’t go to the gym because of unrealistic male body standards, I do it because it feels good to be noticed even after you’ve got kids and you’re happily married. It feels good to win and it feels bad to lose but if you have to lose at least you can crab bucket?

      There’s no question that judging women by their appearance is a widespread problem, but doing expensive/unsafe medical things for the sake of appearance is also about personality.

        Yes… a personality often built off the unhealthy relationship society has with women’s physical appearance. Sure, women can not care, but their lives will often unfortunately be much more difficult for it. Even accounting for the effort put into their appearance. These things are not so easily divorced in reality as they are in online discussions.

      Am I supposed to know Ariana Grande on some deep interpersonal level to realize that she looks like a walking corpse?

        A fun fact about opinions is that you can keep that shit to yourself. I dont know you but I’m not gonna offer my opinion cuz no one asked. Just because we all have a soapbox doesn’t mean we gotta use it

          No, Ariana is beyond opinion. You can literally count her ribs. I literally cringe every time I see her. It’s beyond attractive or unattractive, she simply is not healthy.

            Yeah when you can see their ribcage is when I stop thinking they look good and need to get some calories in them.

            Same for the “hyper shredded” men who need to drink more fluids.

          Good thing they didn’t offer an opinion.

          Ariana Grande looks insanely unhealthy, like a skeleton, and appears to be in a health crisis with either ED or GLP1 abuse.

          That isn’t an opinion, that’s a fact. She’s undeniably not naturally that bone thin, nor that inactive during her performances like she’s been recently.

      yeah i love it when male feminists talk about women like they’re victims

      you know john travolta and jim carey just completely mashed their faces in, no one going around like men have such struggles with society 😓
